LoJack Releases Seventh Annual Vehicle Theft Recovery Report - Seite 2

"Our vehicles have become an extension of our digitally-enabled lives and carry sensitive personal information about us. Each time a vehicle is stolen, it impacts the owner far beyond the loss of property," said Pat Clancy, Vice President of Law Enforcement for LoJack. "While theft tactics are advancing, law enforcement officials and dealerships who partner with LoJack are dedicated to recovering vehicles in a timely fashion and minimizing the impact on owners."

Clancy continued, "In California, the FBI is reporting increasing auto theft rates**, but the strong cooperation between LoJack and its law enforcement partners has helped improve tracking and recovery of stolen vehicles, which is why California continues to top all states in recoveries."
